SB requirements

[Ben]

At lower (looser) limits, what do you guys generally need to call in the SB (1 bet to you)?

Abdul says Jx and any suited but that seems crazy to me--any input?


Thanks much,
Ben

As you may already know, that depends on the number of callers ahead of you, the likelihood of the BB raising, and the overall texture of the game.

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but I've found that reading Lee Jones' "Winning Low Limit Hold'em" was worth the time & $ investment...

I have been calling with any two suited, and I think that it is a play that is profitable in the long run. I tend not to complete with big/small combinations, but would also complete with two gappers, and if the limper(s) are aggressive, maybe Ax.

[Ed Miller]

I complete my 1/2 sized SB with any two suited, offsuit connectors and one-gaps down to about 76o and 86o or so, two cards higher than 8, and Axo. I might be a tad loose, but I'm not way too loose.

I'll complete a 2/3 sized SB with any two cards... though I don't think you are giving up much by folding total unrepentant offsuit trash.
